You took care of your backups, laid out a plan and redesigned your hotel website according to your objectives and what you had mapped out. That’s great! But before you launch your hotel website redesign, you will need to do some final checks of your updated site to ensure the transition to launch goes smoothly.

Hotel Website Redesign Pre-launch Checklist

You’ve taken care of the basics but some final checks before launch should include:

Verifying any email addresses connected with your site are working properly.

Removing any robots.txt tags you might have temporarily used while in the development environment.

Your hotel’s pre-launch checking phase will ensure the minimal amount of hiccups when you actually launch your updated site. You want to avoid problems with CMS systems and be certain that you are not sending your guests and future guests to pages with broken links. In other words, avoiding pitfalls that will adversely affect your hotel SEO rankings or AdWords quality score.
